Well done.

@Ghost

I'm aware of Becky and Charlotte, Sasha and Alexa. Believe me, I'm aware.

I just haven't enjoyed it yet.

Knowing that the three of you lovely ladies are on Etsy makes me so very happy.

@Ghost

I do me the wrassling, but I haven't had cable or the time to watch a full WWE RAW broadcast for a while now.

"So, it appears that sometimes heroes don’t wear capes – Wonder Woman seems to have done more to secure the future of Warner Brothers DC movies than Batman or Superman, which is an astonishing achievement. 2017’s Justice League was intended to be the culmination of Warner Bros.’ DCEU, bringing together Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg, but that crashed and burned, changing directors halfway through and undergoing extensive reshoots, which led to an over-baked and under-proved mess of a film."

There was never anything wrong with the material or the premise, but there was a lot wrong with the person they chose to helm the project.

Things like this is why I love our community. Thanks for sharing. I'll donate and download when I get home later today.

@Jaded

That sounds pretty boss. How do you get the mod?

@Thenomain said in General Video Game Thread:

My main problem is that I'm lost in a sea of not knowing when I'm supposed to move forward, and the missions get very repetitive very quick.

It's like our entire debate on Dragon Age 2 all over again.

It doesn't look like you have many problems playing the missions, but it shouldn't matter how aggressively you move forward; you engage in combat once a threat is detected, and you enjoy your Evasion bonus from sprinting in the event that your opponents go first. Lead in with a fast, heavily-armored scout, and withdraw behind your skirmishers while hammering with LRMs.

I'm still wondering why I should look into the RogueTech mod.

@Thenomain

Does your experience have anything to do with Jaded's suggestion that I look into the RogueTech mod? Did it solve your problems?

Because I'm fine grinding. I like blowing the heads off of Thunderbolts and punching other Battlemechs with my BEEFCAKE Dragon Variant.

@Jaded said in General Video Game Thread:

Gany have you checked out the RogueTech mod for Battletech yet? If not, I recommend it, you might enjoy how it plays.

Why would I enjoy it? I like the game as it is.

@Ghost said in How do you like things GMed?:

On BS:U, she did scenes involving her players the right way. IF your character is in the scene, then you have to put them on equal footing in terms of screen time with the other players. She never made the scenes about her characters in the scene; her character just happened to be a part of the scene. She never railroaded her character into being the one who solves the problem, and never used scenes she ran involving her own character as vehicles for driving her character's agenda. She shared the scene and seemed very comfortable letting the room of players be the deciding factor.

Also, she was the medic, and we kept on getting fucking shot apart.

Of course, Faraday's game also had FS3 with a combat engine. You literally cannot steal the limelight in that engine. It treats PCs like meat no matter who is playing.

I am going to play the ass off of Anthem.

Why?

Nothing is superior to BattleTech for me at the moment. Sorry. Nothing is more fun than ruining other 'mechs with my Beefcake (Dragon with Arm Mod ++ and SRM goodness).

@surreality said in When To Stop Listening To Those Voices:

It isn't a happy quote. It is still one of the truest things I have ever seen put into words.

It's this:

I'm going to try to out-do it.

“People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”

― Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

It's a good quote, though.

@Tinuviel

Already done, sir.

@Tinuviel said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Irrelevant. If you want to pass the course, you do as you're told.

And here I thought that academic writing was about free, accurate thought.

My bad.

(Note: I recognize that the first thing to do is what you're told, which is why I passed my courses consistently; in this case, though, the English professor is r-o-n-g wrong in insisting as he or she has.)
